SON LA (VNS) — Police from northern mountainous Son La Province yesterday launched prosecutions against two women for appropriating funds they received for falsely promising jobs at State-owned companies.

The two suspects, including one pregnant woman, admitted to police that they had received VND3.5 billion (US$165,000) from 30 local residents from 2012-13.

The suspects committed to provide jobs at State-owned agencies operating in the province but failed to deliver on the promises, prompting clients to tip off local police. — VNS
